Warsi is a great role model for why Muslim should NOT join western political party’s.

Prior to her appointment to the Shadow Cabinet, Warsi, a qualified solicitor who had set up her own specialist practice George Warsi Solicitors in Dewsbury, spoke openly about the need to engage a wider spectrum of Muslim opinion including so called ‘extremist’ voices. “We must start engaging with, not agreeing with, the radical groups who we have said in the past are complete nutters,” she said in 2005. Warsi criticised the idea that pressure should be placed upon British Muslims to root out extremists within their midst, commenting that “when you say this is something that the Muslim community needs to weed out, or deal with, that is a very dangerous step to take.” She once wrote: “if terrorism is the use of violence against civilians, then where does that leave us in Iraq?” Also, regarding Kashmir, she said, “We have a community in Britain, a Pakistani and Kashmiri community, who holds a very, very strong view about Kashmir and the scope of freedom-fighting in Kashmir. It would concern me if… the definition of terrorism was to cover maybe (the) legitimate freedom-fight in Kashmir.”

Warsi was also accused of disributing leaflets in Muslims areas during her 2005 election campaign to court the Muslim vote. These leaflets which have reportedly redistributed by former counciller Mr Scott, read:

“Labour has scrapped Section 28, which was introduced by the Conservatives to stop schools promoting alternative sexual lifestyles such as homosexuality to children as young as seven years old.

“Labour reduced the age of consent for homosexuality from 18 to 16, allowing schoolchildren to be propositioned for homosexual relationships.” http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-4917.html

HOWEVER after her appointment to the shadow cabinet everything CHANGED!

In an interview with The Guardian,after her appointment to the shadow cabinet Warsi said:
“I look back at lots of my election leaflets and think, ‘God – why did I phrase it like that? What was I on?’” she told the paper.

After her appointment Shadow Minister Warsi has even gone on to say that people who back the British National Party (BNP), may even have a point;”They have some very legitimate views. People who say ‘we are concerned about crime and justice in our communities – we are concerned about immigration in our communities’”.

Furthermore On 22 October 2009 Baroness Warsi represented the Conservatives on a controversial edition of Question Time marking the first ever appearance of Nick Griffin leader of the BNP.[12] During that broadcast she strongly criticised the BNP, and when directly asked whether she was in favour of civil partnerships, replied “I think that people who want to be in a relationship together, in the form of a civil partnership, absolutely have the right to do that.”

Sayeeda Warsi typical example of those who tred the failed path of political participation in westminister and is an example of how one has to conform to the secular norms to get ahead at the expense of their values and principles. The reality of the road of political participation in wesminister is the quickest way for Muslims to LOOSE their Islamic voice.
